We're tying our shoes!

A huge milestone has been reached in the Hyde household. At the ripe old age of 7, Evan has mastered the art of tying his shoes. It felt kind of like the whole toilet training process---when they are ready, they will just do it. So during Church last Sunday, I told Evan to take a shoe off and that we would practice tying his shoe. He was all for it. So after quite a few tries, he did it! Way to go, Evan!

Happy Mother's Day

What a great day! I was treated like a queen - The kids made a wonderful dinner, which included a spaghetti-like dish that was made out of ramen noodles and even seasoned with the enclosed packet! There was also fruit salad and a beautiful chocolate cake with sprinkles. It was a delicious meal. How lucky I am to be a Mom to such a wonderful family!

Ready for rent!

It is hard to believe, but the storage units are built and ready to rent! There is still a lot to do - paving, landscaping and finishing the fencing and gates. But we already are getting phone calls from people ready to rent!
